MOD EDIT:

Upon further review, based on conversations with a few Japanese speakers + looking at the sales numbers, it does seem that the number in the OP is the combined amount of all console versions and not just the sales for the Switch version. But it seems the Switch version has indeed sold the best and they're extremely impressed with that.

I can't verify their report as I can't speak Japanese, but maybe someone who can might be able to verify?

Holy shit. It must have insane digital numbers given the retail figures we know (~100k US, ~70k Japan).

PS4 version by comparison might not even be over 100k global given what we know (under 50k US, never charted in Japan, outsold 8:1 UK retail by Switch, no digital release due to Tetris licensing).

One of the best release of puyo puyo and tetris imo so, well deserved.

That sounds way too high. Not that I doubt the site that reported it, but I'd be appreciative of more verification.

User has been warned: thread derail. This thread is not about discussing the visuals of a Puyo Puyo game.
Wow, that game looks awful. Seems like everything can sell well on Switch in Japan

It's one of the best iterations of Puyo Puyo and of Tetris. Plus, it also combines the two games in some really fun modes. It's also played a lot in tournaments. Basically, it is very much not an awful game, though I am surprised it sold so well on Switch considering it was released on many other platforms, including 3DS.

Edit: I became confused and forgot the 1 million figure was worldwide.

I see its quite beloved here. For me it just looks like those Wii era shovelware games for kids.

It is correct.

My main question is if it'd indeed almost one million on Switch alone or by including all the other versions of the game. I mean, is it Puyo Puyo Tetris as a whole (PS3/Vita/3DS/Wii U/PS4/Xbox One/Switch) or is it Puyo Puyo Tetris S alone (it's the Japanese name of the Switch version)? I need a time stamp of when they talked about WW sales.

Recent price drop must have gotten a good sales boost for them

I was in at launch and no regrets!

One of my favourite game of 2017, i absolutely adore it (except when it exposed the faulty d-pad of my pro-controller).

I am speechless. It is amazing, SEGA has been very supportive with the Switch (Sonic Mania, Sonic Forces, Valkyria Chronicles 4...) and is rewarded for its support.

I feel like its much more likely to be all versions of the game.

You mean a Tetris game right?


(Because Tetris is OP compared to Puyo lol)

Well deserved, I hope we get a sequel, since the crossover is great and I'd love to see it more finely tuned for balance.

Can you really fault me for thinking that way? It looks like a smartphone game. I am not trolling.

It looks better in most cases than that screenshot. That has one of the worst backgrounds in the game imo.

The game has a very clean artstyle, yes, but unlike a lot of mobile games, the character designs aren't shit.

Never Though there will be a day where Puyo Puyo will be compared to shovelware.

Tetris brand must be really bad these days to pull it down (thanks to those shiity mobile games).

Wonder if the success of this title (and presumably the Sonic titles) prompted them to quickly create a Switch version for Valkyria Chronicles 4, which sees a late release in Japan but simultaneous release worldwide iirc.

That's fantastic.
Hopefully that doesn't lead the next publisher to get the Tetris licence to think that any lazy Tetris game is enough for that. Sounds promising for the future of Puyo Puyo though!
Puyo Puyo Tetris was fantastic on every level, a real effort done on this game.

That's insane :o

I'm still searching for a cheap physical copy before I jump in. I already have an old PS4 physical copy, but I'd play this forever if I had it on the go.

Some corporate big wig will misread the sales, push out another Puyo game that sucks hastily, game will tank and series will go dormant again for another decade.

OK, that is seriously a "wth" scenario. But I'm glad the game is such a huge success story on Switch. Such a good fit and a quality game.
